PostgreSQL Training

Command Prompt has offered training since we began as a one man shop back in 1997. It has always been, "by request". Since that time a lot of things have changed and we are regularly receiving training requests from multiple companies. We have decided to finally bring our training into the light and make it a forefront of the services that CMD offers.
Interestingly we are going to be providing a lot of ad-hoc, webcast style training (as well as traditional on site or classroom). The number one training we are asked for is something that is half day that covers a specific topic such as backup and restore or configuring Point in Time Recovery. These types of courses will be cost effective for even small establishments and will be held over the Internet.
We will also be participating in the open curriculum community ensuring that most if not all of our curriculum is freely available for self starters. What other training provider is going to do that?
Here is our current list of pre-defined courses. We will be adding a dozen or so more in the next 90 days.

PostgreSQL Conference East is the Eastern segment of the United States PostgreSQL Conference series. The event is being held at Drexel University. It starts on April 3rd and runs through April 5.
We kick the conference off on April 3rd with three sessions. For DBAs we have Mastering PostgreSQL Administration a four hour training, presented by PostgreSQL Core Team member Bruce Momjian. For Developers we have a Database Normalization, a 4 hour workshop. Finally for those who are seeking information on the upcoming 8.4 release we have a 3 hour guide to PostgreSQL 8.4 presented by Major Contributor Robert Treat.
April 4th and 5th are a plethora of mini-tutorials and sessions. The talks range from Pylons and Grails development with PostgreSQL to Understanding Column Level privileges, Windowing Functions, the Art of Indexes, four presentations on different Replication technologies and a Performance Round Table.
In all we have 35 sessions. There is no question that there is something at this conference for every PostgreSQL user. We will close out the conference with a raffle of two Asus EEEPC 1000 preloaded with Ubuntu Intrepid and Postgres Plus from Platinum Sponsor EnterpriseDB.
The proceeds of East are being donated directly to the United States PostgreSQL (PgUS) Association.

Remembering excellence from past PostgreSQL Conferences

Just about 5 months ago we held PostgreSQL Conference, West 2008 in Portland Oregon. It was a very successful conference with approximate 20% growth over the previous West in 2007. It was also a three day conference over the previous West event which was a single day conference. As we prep to hold PostgreSQL Conference, East 2009 at Drexel University I wanted to look back at one of my favorite talks from West. Developing a PL for PostgreSQL is a hilarious but technically accurate presentation on creating procedural languages for PostgreSQL, the catch? The presentation uses LOLCode.Read more...
